TOWARDS SUMMIT, Puncak Majakuning, Ciremai, 3,078 masl


Actually, it's best to summit it at sunrise. But what power, body really males motion, where the afternoon and evening rain, so the intention to wake up at 3 am to peak only just intention aja. Wake up and realize it's 6 o'clock, had a quick breakfast, trus clean-up camp new up.


Normally, the journey to the top takes 3 hours. But because I had a fairly slow road (when it was not carrying a carrier), so the time extends to 4 hours. Along the way, I took a few pictures too. By the way, the track is pretty, steep!


From the intersection of the Palutungan Line to the Apuy Line, actually the peak has not been so far, approximately 45 minutes. But the path is harder than mother's pinch. 


Well, from the Swallow Cave Post is only 300 meters away to the top. But because he was afraid of his feet, we sat down first, nyemil first, drink first, take pictures first. Hahahah, yes how dong, trembling in his tracks sis. Oh yes, this is a combined path of stone and sand, prone to slip if less careful.


Indeed sustenance, after the pains in the calves, in the thighs, and in the chest, the four of us succeeded until the Peak of Mount Ciremai! Takbir! It was right up, everything that had been passed along the road flashed quickly in the head. He wants to cry fast, but malamuu, so diem aja trus tightens strong teeth. 


Can you feel proud of yourself? I have had time to feel unable, had the intention to retreat, several times crossed. I had to say “alah rose aja threesome, let me take care of tenda”, but trus talk that I swallowed before it could go out of the mouth. I decided to go on, hustle, strengthen my heart. Blubbering. Hooh, I'm a big dreamer. I told myself that I could, not lose weight, not remember age.


We were not long at the top, about half an hour because it was already noon and the plan was to catch a bus to Jakarta tonight. So, after the photos, we went down to Pos Pesanggrahan again. If the ride takes 4 hours, the descent only takes 2 hours.


At the camp we cleaned up and had lunch. The weather started to feel bad, some small rain, moderate rain, after it started to subside, around 4 pm, we started our way down.  When we got to Pangguyungan Badak Post, it was getting dark. I wear a headlamp to help me see the road.


I don't know why it was getting dark, I felt so tired. Already back and forth drinking, back and forth stopping to rest, but the body does not feel good, like a fever. I kept trying to walk, but the energy felt so abis, kayak sucked. Arriving in Kuta, I had lemes and said not strong. But because the place is not possible to make a break, I was asked to continue to get to Cigowong.


From Kuta to Cigowong I am already rich people dazed anyway, had twice fallen slips, the view also began to twitch. About 200 meters before Post Cigowong, my carrier was forcibly taken over by my friend and taken to the post.


In Post Cigowong, a second horror story (after the photo case in Arban) takes place. It was raining, I was shivering. I told other friends to leave me in the post, I will follow down tomorrow morning, but they did not want to and insistent nemenin. Here I had thought macem-macem, felt guilty for slowing down the journey, felt guilty because because my friends could not go home to Jakarta tonight, he said, feeling like a failure because you can't reach the target.


But when those thoughts began to walk in the head, I continued to use the principle of justin aja. Let alone the journey add a day because of the rest, than I maksa continue the road and then injured and even made difficult many people.


All prayers have been read, I have another shadow, to shake the body of the next person, but do not want to disappear, until about 3 to 4 am finally able to fall asleep. I feel tired, but I don't know who to get upset with. 


At 5am, Post Cigowong was bright. When I woke up, my friend had told me that I had a fever and had been delirious several times. He was worried, but thankfully I still survived ga why-why. At 6, after cleaning up, we hit the gas down. I've been immediately, fitting down we hardly rest, the road is very tight.


Below, we were greeted by Palutungan Post officers who mengyampein phone messages. Mas Lasso, the owner of the open trip that we bought turned out to have several phone calls and was quite worried because the four of us had nothing to contact. Though according to the schedule that night we should have reached Jakarta.


Fortunately, there is still good luck, we are hampered to go home not because of roughness or injury. We were just caught in the rain and I needed to rest because I couldn't continue the journey.


There are some notes that I think are important during the trip, hopefully useful for friends who have climbing plans:


Bring a spare change of clothes if the body easily sweats. All my clothes were wet yesterday, I borrowed clothes to go home.


Bring more money just in case.


Rest if you are tired. Forcing yourself may be fine, but also listen to the condition of the body.


Check equipment before leaving, make sure important equipment such as mattresses, sleeping bags, headlamps, raincoats, clothes & pants, shoes, socks, socks are complete.


I use the help of pole trekking during the climb, quite help divide the body load.


Make sure to exercise physically before going up. The age factor is really.


Do not disturb the animals along the way, take the garbage down, follow the existing path, and stay focused throughout the journey.


Although there is a little drama, yes kind of sweetener travel, I enjoy the ride-and-drop.


Thank you for stopping by, Mount Ciremai.


Thank you, and see you later.
